These boots are ok (for cheap boots), as long as you do not mind kidskin, just not in this particular color.
Black, brown, or gray versions are fine.
The style has nothing to do with Dr. Martens, it is actually a really old Stacy Adams style, has been around forever.
The last shape also looks "vintage" or "old school".

Any idea who makes these kinds of boots in higher quality? I've searched and searched and this was the only brand I could find that makes victorian style men's boots.

What a disgusting pair of boots. Looks like the residue of a vicious session of Japanese scat porn.

Well, that color is taupe. It's not like it's a color that's never been used in clothing before so enough with the bad similes. Hm.. my apologies to AcidicBoy btw, I guess he was commenting on the color. Something wrong with my brain in interpreting information earlier. I thought you were giving me a sarcastic response since that's usually what people give me on these forums. I also assumed that those shoes must go with at least a certain color pair of pants... otherwise why make them? But I guess not.

i think the following link will lead you to the original manufacturer of the shoes you originally posted. as for the shoe itself i dont think it is ugly...the colour...yes. i agree with the haters: no!

The McQueen boots you posted are dress boots similar to these Grenson boots but without the back lacing: or these from the Rider Boot Company: The Stacy Adams boots in your OP have open lacing so even though they have a similar shape they are not technically a dress boot. You should do a forum and google search using the terms "dress boots", "oxford boots" and "balmoral boots" if you are looking for alternatives to the McQueens.

lol rs232, nice. nuffsaid, that thread led me to hawaiisoul where shoes cost $1000+ and 6 months wait.. f that.. (someday though... someday) balmoral is nice. anything in the 100-200 maybe 300$ range and within the US? and possibly two-tone? I'm still searching. btw what does 888 last / 82 last / xx last refer to I couldn't figure it out, has something to do with the sole? edit: search seems futile
